Physical Description: Tall and lanky frame with long arms and loose shoulders. Lacks standout physical features. Solid lower half. More room for added weight as he physically matures.

Delivery & Mechanics: Standard three-quarter slot delivery from the right side. Semi windup with high left leg kick. Smooth mechanics and arm movement throughout operation. LIttle hiccups in delivery. Great extension, controls his upper and lower half well. Pitches comfortably from the stretch, keeps his body balanced. Good feel for his arsenal.

Fastball: Low-to-mid 90s offering with solid late life. Fastball sits 92-94 and tops 96-97. Lacks elite velocity, but has good late life and spin for whiffs. Good feel for his fastball up in the zone. Solid pitch with room for added velocity Grade: 55

Curveball: Mid-70s curveball that shows promise as above-average pitch. Has touched 80-81 with good 12-6 movement and heavy drop. Lacks depth and consistency. Gets loopy at times, sits in the meat of the plate. More improvement with tighter spin and movement. Grade: 50

Slider: Mid-80s slider with tight spin and deception. Pairs well with his fastball, thrown with cutter-esque movement. Shows more strikeout potential, thrown effectively away against righties. Late movement and consistency give a slight edge over his curveball. Grade: 55

Changeup: Low-to-mid 80s changeup that rounds out as a viable fourth pitch. Good feel for it late in counts, lacks much depth and fade. Shows signs of improved movement and consistency. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Solid control and command on the mound. Has a good feel for all four pitches, throws with confidence. Pounds the zone consistently, rarely gives up walks. Good command with his fastball. Lacks strikeout stuff, relies more on command and soft contact. Shows solid command at this stage in his development. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: Enlow has a good feel for his four-pitch mix, and it shows with solid command. He lacks eye-popping stuff and doesn't miss many bats, but he continues to improve and show increased velocity at points. He has the makeup of a solid backend starter.
